How to Style a Boho Table Runner

When you style a table with a boho feeling, the secret is to embrace the relaxed, gathered, slightly eclectic spirit of it.

Start with your cream beige runner as the centerpiece and let its texture take the spotlight. Add a mix of vintage plates, colored glassware, and textured woven placemats. Do not be afraid to mix patterns and colors for a playful, lived in look. Scatter a few natural touches like dried stems, feathers, or small potted plants. Then finish with candles in pretty holders for a warm, cozy glow.

The beauty of boho is that it is personal and forgiving, so trust your eye and let it feel like you.

What Size Should a Crochet Table Runner Be

Most table runners sit around 12 inches wide, but boho loves a little freedom, so choose your size with intention.

This pattern is made to be any size. You set the width with your foundation chain and the length by how many rows you work. A lovely trick is to mix runner lengths across different tables in your home for a layered, gathered look.

Keep in mind that the finished size can differ from the starting size once tassels or borders are added, so measure as you go.ting a layered and bohemian-inspired tablescape.

Let’s continue!

Now we will add two rows on each side.

Turn your work on the side facing the long part.

Row1: Ch3 counts as 1st dc, dc 2 in each dc from the rows, make sure you do not overfill the side with dc’s. The amount is not so important, just make it straight and flat. Count your st so you will work the same amount on the opposite side.

Work to the end of the side.

Row 2: ch1 and turn your work, sc 1 in 1st st from hook, sc1 in next st and in every st across to end of row.

Secure your yarn and cut.

Repeat the same on the opposite side.
